I’m an Australian woman, based in Meanjin / Brisbane, but in love with Argentina. In a previous life, I was a Trans activist, runner, and RollerDerby player. Now that we are all “post” covid, I feel like I’m still somehow finding my feet, and working out what I want to keep from my old life, and what I want to add to it! I have the feeling I will never get a final answer :)

I’m an admin on blahaj.zone, a Hajkey based instance for queer and gender diverse folk and other friends of Blahaj!

I can also be found on lemmy at @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone and on matrix at ada:chat.blahaj.zone

Estoy aprendiendo español y a veces mi toots estará en mal español!

    Even though the “threadiverse” is basically #lemmy + #kbin, they’re not at all dominyant on the fediverse

    This is the part that I believe might change. I’ve seen several people effectively move from micro blogging to the threadiverse, as well as many people who never used twitter, and who are experiencing the fediverse for the first time through kbin or lemmy.

    Combine that with the crazy growth of those spaces even before reddit shuts down the APIs makes me wonder if micro blogging might end up being “one of the features” rather than the default feature.

    I don’t actually know how true this is technically, but I would imagine that once you follow a community/magazine on lemmy/kbin, you and your instance see everything from that community, not just some arbitrary sub-sample of replies like with microblogging.

    Bingo! And due to the dedicated interface, you’re not trying to find a reply from amongst a timeline, but you instead have a sorted listed of threads, with the whole context right there at a click. It makes it much easier to drop in to a conversation that happened when you were asleep etc.

    It’s not as personal, so it doesn’t give you the same “connecting with friends/audience” feeling that microblogging does, but by the same token, that makes it easier to drop in and out of without any existing history or connection to the space.

    This is where /kbin is interesting as it fuses both microblogging and “threading” … which IMO is the master format for a platform ATM

    I agree! That is a killer feature. I am hoping that there is a way of changing the interface on the microblog posts to thread them in with the main posts, rather than hiding them away on a distinct tab, but either way, having both options there is fantastic! That is the killer feature of kbin, and also the reason that some people have been able to leave dedicated microblogging platforms in favour of kbin


  • @jdp23 So, with Lemmy specifically (I’m not sure about kbin yet, as I haven’t tested it), you just tag the community, and it posts directly to the community.

    The only real consideration is that lemmy expects a subject line, so if you’re posting from software that doesn’t use a subject line, it will use the first sentence of your post as the subject instead. Which is why my post began with a snappy single line sentence :)
